I am hoping I am pregnant, we have been ttc for 3 months. I am 11 dpo and I am having nausea, cramping, fatigue and severe bloating. I took a hpt from the dollar store yesterday and it was negative, although I am not supposed to start my period until wednesday. I am going crazy with anticipation! I want to be pregnant and I think I am but I am worried that it might just be my period coming. What do you think? Any suggestions???

It is hard to tell because the symptoms are so similar. Usually with pregnancy your boobs will hurt 1st before you feel anything else. Honestly I think it is to early for you to be having all of these symptoms so soon, but some women are different (but scientifically speaking, it is to soon.) If you start spotting and the blood is brown thats usually a good sign, but pink and red means period time. I hope this helps some.
The only way you can tell is either wait for AF to come, or wait until your period is late and test again there. It may be too early to detect a pregnancy.
unfortunatley hun you might have to wait for AF to come. although before i found out i was pregnant i was sure i was about to get AF because i was getting the pains like she was about to start at anytime but she didnt.
